Escape Quotations
Music is an escape for me. Tom Scholz Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. Edgar Allan Poe Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. T. S. Eliot It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape. Thomas Jefferson You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. Abraham Lincoln |
